The new born is here, so time to chop in my mk7 Golf Gti for something 5 door with a bigger boot.
Jeeez there’s a lot of options. Small SUV, estate, sport back. Every manufacturer seems to make 5 different models that would work (3 series, 4 series, 5 series, x1, x2, x3 for example).
Current leaning is 3 series touring or a Tucson. I suspect my Golf is worth about £12k (2013, 55k, new clutch/water pump, FVWSH) and I could prob put another 10k in. But do people still buy cars outright? I’ve not had time to do the man maths and work it all out.
Hoping to hear what others in similar situations have done recently!

Just to confirm the golf is a 3 door. I’m putting the car seat in the back to use the isofix as it’s more secure than a seatbelt in the front.
It’s quite an operation to put the car seat in the back - and don’t want the missus to struggle.
My other car is an s2000, so don’t mind ‘giving up’ the gti but if it is going I’d like to replace with something we can keep for a while - hence might as well be a bigger (Esate/suv) 5 door.
